TOURIST  MULTIPLE  CAMERA 

AND  PROJECTION  LANTERN 

* I ’HE  Tourist  Multiple  Camera  and  Projection  Lantern 
A are  tke  first  real  and  practical  exponents  of  twentieth- 
century  photography.  Togetker  they  form  a new,  novel 
and  most  efficient  pkotograpkic  equipment  of  great  origi- 
na  ity  in  design,  of  tke  very  kigkest  grade  tkrougkout,  and 
of  remarkable  compactness  in  size,  capacity  in  service,  and 
convenience  in  use. 

In  placing  tkese  instruments  upon  tke  market,  it  is  tke 
purpose  of  tke  manufacturers  to  open  to  tke  public  a field 
in  pkotograpky  tkat  keretofore  kas  been  largely  overlooked 
and  neglected  because  of  its  difficulties  and  expense. 

In  tke  past,  numerous  cameras  kave  appeared,  calculated 
to  meet  every  purpose.  All  possessed  merit  and  all  were 
more  or  less  adaptable ; but  all,  alike,  bad  very  definite  and 
quickly  discovered  limitations  eitker  in  size,  compactness  or 
capacity.  Tke  old  -faskioned  ' magic  lantern”  kas  been 
superseded  by  tke  modern  projecting  lantern,  and  tkis 
instrument  kas  now  become  familiar  to  all  in  its  world-wide 
employment  of  showing  pictures  of  kome  life  and  travel 
scenes  on  an  enlarged  scale  by  projecting  tkem  upon  screens 
in  parlors,  ckurckes,  small  kalis,  and  elsewhere.  But  with 
tkese  cameras  and  tkese  lanterns  there  are  drawbacks;  in  tke 
cameras,  lack  of  capacity  in  number  of  exposures,  tke  neces- 
sity of  carrying  extra  films  or  boxes  of  plates,  with  tke 
possibility  of  loss  in  transit  and  tke  difficulty  of  determining 
tke  order  in  which  tke  exposures  were  made  after  tke  return 
kome;  with  tke  lantern  tke  chief  drawback  is  tke  cost  of

suitable  lantern  slides,  which  being  of  glass,  fragile  in  their 
nature  and  of  great  weight,  are  objectionable  to  employ 
when  many  slides  are  to  be  carried  about. 

Since  the  projection  lantern  has  reached  its  present 
state  of  perfection,  motion  picture  photography  has  ad- 
vanced to  the  forefront  of  the  photographic  industry,  and 
has  taken  its  place  as 
the  most  popular  of  all 
entertainments.  But 
the  cost  of  this  branch 
of  photography  is  so 
excessive  that  up  to 
the  present  time  it  has 
not  been  possible  to 
utilize  it  profitably  ex- 
cept as  it  is  handled 
by  the  large  manu-

facturers  of  motion 
pictures  representing 
scenes  of  international 
importance,  photo- 
plays, dramas,  etc., 
who  lease  their  films 
to  the  great  number 
of  small  theaters  that 
are  popularly  called 
the  ''movies.”  The 
motion  picture  end  of  the  photographic  industry — as  far  as 
the  amateur  is  concerned-  can  never  be  developed  to  any 
large  extent  because  of  the  tremendous  expense  attending  it. 

To  fill  in  the  vacant  space  between  the  regular  camera 
and  projection  lantern,  and  the  present  great  advancement 
in  motion  picture  photography,  the  TOURIST  MULTIPLE 


Camera  Open  — Right  Side  Showing 
Interior  and  Lens  Fitting 


Camera  has  been  designed,  developed  and  per- 
fected. In  it  the  manufacturers  Have  placed  upon 
the  market  a camera  easily  carried  in  the  pocket 
of  an  overcoat  or  hunting  jacket,  equipped  with  a 
high-grade  lens,  using  the  standard  perforated 
motion  picture  film,  taking  seven  hundred  and 
fifty  pictures  without  reloading,  and  making  sep- 
arate, individual  exposures.  With  such  an  appar- 
atus it  is  possible  for  the  user  to  photographically 
record  an  entire  trip,  step  by  step,  in  perfect 
sequence,  to  pay  no  at- 
tention to  development 
until  the  return  home, 
and  then  be  enabled 
by  means  of  a film  posi- 
tive made  from  the 
film  negative  to  throw 
these  pictures  up  to  any 
size  from  two  to  ten  feet, 
in  the  home,  church  or 
other  place,  with  the

the  trouble  and  ex- 
pense of  making 
lantern  slides,  and 
with  the  positive 
assurance  that  the 
correct  sequence  of 
the  views  shown 
is  and  must  re- 
main permanently 
unaltered. 

The  Tourist 
Multiple  Camera  is  ideally  adapted 

to  the  needs  of  tourists,  travelers,  scientists, 
explorers,  surveyors,  engineers,  architects, 
and  others.  It  is  constructed  of  metal 
throughout,  is  practically  watertight  and 
damp-proof,  and  is  unaffected  by  climatic 
changes.  The  lens  equipment  of  this 
camera  is  exactly  the  same  as  that  used  by 
professional  operators  of  motion  picture 
cameras,  being  the  highest  grade  astigmats, 
having  the  great  speed  of  f2.5  and

any  other  cam- 
era upon  the 
market  at  the 
present  time. 

The  operation  of  the  camera  is  practi- 
cally automatic.  It  is  only  necessary  to 
move  a lever  up  and  down  with  one  motion 
of  the  hand  to  set  the  shutter,  wind  the 
film  and  register  the  exposure  number.  It 

is  possible  with  the  Tourist  Multiple 
Camera  to  make  several  pictures  before 
the  average  camera  can  be  made  ready. 
Since  this  camera  uses  the  standard  motion 
picture  film,  it  is  possible  to  obtain  film  for 
it  throughout  the  entire  civilized  world.  In 
general  construction  the  camera  is  simplicity 
itself,  and  any  amateur  can  take  the  entire 
instrument  apart  and  replace  it  without  the 
least  diffi  culty.  The  lens  is  mounted  in  a

deeply  recessed  hood,  which  acts  as  a light  shade  so  that 
the  camera  can  be  pointed  directly  into  the  sunlight 
without  the  usual  disastrous  results  that  are  common  to 
practically  all  other  cameras. 

The  focussing  of  the  lens  is  accomplished  by  means 
of  a special  focussing  mount  having  a knurled  ring  that 
is  turnable  between  gradations  from  infinity  to  two  feet. 

(Each  camera  is  exactly  focussed  and  accurately  marked 
for  all  distances  as  indicated  by  the  lens  with  which  it 
is  equipped).  The  iris  diaphragm  is  operated  by  a 
knurled  barrel  turning  inside  the  focussing  mount.  The 
front  carrying  the  lens  and  its  mounting  can  be  raised 
or  lowered  as  required  to  alter  the  field  of  view.  The  finder  is  also  attached  to  the 
lens  front  so  as  to  move  up  and  down  with  it,  and  the  finder  lens  is  marked  with 
extra  sighting  lines  for  use  in  the  upper  and  lower  positions.  A feature  of  great 
value  in  this  camera  is  the  character  and  location  of  the  finder,  which  is  of  the 
direct  vision  type,  placed  centrally  on  the  left  side  of  the  instrument  (the  top  when 
upright  pictures  are  being  taken  ).  Thus  all  exposures  are  made  at  the  height  of 
the  eye,  and  all  pictures  are  shown  in  their  true  perspective. 

The  shutter  is  of  the  drop  type  similar  in  action  to  the  focal  plane  variety 
and  moves  downward  in  making  an  exposure,  its  opening  being  the  full  size  of  the 
picture  made;  namely,  15/ i<c>ths  of  an  inch  long  by  3/4ths  of  an  inch  wide.  The 
shutter  speeds  may  be  varied  from  i/4oth  to  i/  2ooth  of  a second,  the  speed  being 
regulated  by  a knurled  button  on  the  outside  of  the  camera  and  located  below  the 
operating  lever.  The  shutter  release  is  actuated  by  a small  button  inserted  in  the 
change  plate-  above  the  operating  lever.  This  change  plate  may  be  set  by  sliding 

up  for  “I”  (instantaneous)  or  down  for  “B”  (b  U lb) 
exposures  as  may  be  desired,  and  carries  a fixture  to 
which  an  ordinary  antinous  release  may  be  attached. 
The  use  of  the  antinous  release  makes  the  taking  of 
so-called  “bulb’  exposures  very  easy  and  convenient. 

The  Tourist  Multiple  Camera  may  be  ob- 
tained equipped,  as  individual  preference  may  require, 
with  either  a Steinheil  Triplar  f2.5,  Bausch  & Lomb 
Zeiss  Tessar  f 3.5,  or  Goerz  Hypar  f 3.5.  All  of  these 
lenses  have  been  found  perfectly  adapted  to  this  camera 
after  a series  of  exhaustive  tests.  They  have  been 
especially  designed  to  meet  the  highest  requirements  of

advanced  motion  picture  photography,  and  their  very  superior  correction  enable 
the  user  to  obtain  photographs  having  definition  of  microscopic  sharpness  over  the 
entire  field  of  view. 

With  a lens  of  the  short  focus  -two  inches — that  is  supplied  with  the  TOURIST 
MULTIPLE  Camera,  focussing  is  unnecessary  for  all  ordinary  scenes,  owing  to  the 
extreme  depth  of  definition  obtainable  with  the  lenses  supplied.  Their  elements 
of  focal  length,  speed  and  optical  correction  are  so  perfect  that  most  satisfactory 
individual  exposures  can  be  made  under  extremely  unfavorable  conditions.  Contact 


prints  can  be  made  from  the  negatives,  anc 
out  material  loss  of  sharpness;  or  by  means 
can  be  shown  life  size  or  even  larger. 

The  Projection  Lantern,  which 

accompanies  the  TOURIST  MULTIPLE 
Camera  and  completes  this  unique 
photographic  equipment,  is  entirely  new 
in  design,  handsome  in  pattern  and  finish, 
solidly  constructed,  and  very  compact.  It 
is  light  in  weight,  and  therefore  easily 
transported,  and  is  fitted  into  a neat 
carrying  case.  The  base  is  of  polished 
hard  wood,  at  the  rear  end  of  which  is  a 
metal  track  along  which  the  lamp  may  be 
slid  forward  or  back.  At  the  front  end 
of  the  base  board  is  an  upright  metal  post 
carrying  the  film  box  at  its  top  on  a hori- 
zontal shaft,  and  a quadrant  which  permits 
the  turning  of  the  box  through  ninety 
degrees  to  allow  of  the  projection  of  either 
oblong  or  upright  pictures  in  their  correct 
positions.  The  light  source  is  a small

electric  arc,  and  the  lamp  is  equipped  with  rkeostat,  switch,  a sufficient  len  gtk  of 
insulated  cable  and  a plug  for  attacking  to  ordinary  electric  ligkt  fixtures.  At  tke 
back  of  tke  lantern  is  a tkumb  roll  for  feeding  and  adjusting  tke  carbons.  Above 
tke  carbon  holders,  at  tke  center  of  tke  back  of  tke  lantern,  is  a peep  kole,  pro- 
tected by  deep  red  glass,  for  observing  tke  arc  ligkt  during  adjustment.  In  tke 
front  of  tke  lantern  is  fixed  a double  plano-convex  condensing  lens  of  high  power, 
with  a rectangular  opening.  At  tke  lower  part  of  tke  lantern,  on  either  side,  are 
wooden  buttons  to  be  used  in  moving  tke  lamp  forward  or  back  as  may  be 
required. 

Tke  fil  m box,  in  which  is  placed  tke  positive  film  for  projection,  is  nearly 
identical  with  tke  camera  in  its  interior  construction.  There  are  upper  and  lower 
magazines,  operating  lever,  shaft  with  film  feeding  fingers,  shutter  and  shutter 
release.  Tke  exterior  operating  lever  is  a plunger  that  projects  above  tke  top  of 
tke  fil  m box,  and  tke  shutter  release  is  a latch  that  operates  by  moving  a finger 
piece  on  top  of  tke  same  box.  Tke  front  of  tke  film  box  is  fitted  with  a high- 
grade  projection  lens  in  a focussing  barrel  which  may  be  racked  in  or  out  for  exact

focussing  by  means  of  a thumb  roll  located  directly  below  it.  The  top,  bottom, 
rear  and  left  side  of  the  film  box  constitute  the  cover,  which  is  held  in  place  by 
two  buttons  and  two  hasps.  When  the  cover  is  removed  the  entire  interior  of  the 
film  box  is  readily  accessible  and  the  positive  film  is  inserted  in  exactly  the  same 
manner  as  that  described  for  placing  the  negative  f lm  in  the  camera.  Care  should 
be  taken  in  placing  the  f lm  in  the  upper  magazine  to  have  the  pictures  upside 
down  and  the  picture  side  of  the  flm  toward  the  front  (lens)  end  of  the  flm  box. 

One  feature  of  this  PROJECTION  LANTERN  deserves  a special  paragraph.  Those 
accustomed  to  motion  picture  projection  lanterns  will  not  understand  how  a station- 
ary flm  positive  of  motion  picture  size  can  be  exhibited  in  an  electric  projection 
lantern  without  being  instantly  set  fre  to  by  the  heat  of  the  arc.  The  ignition  of 
a flm  in  this  lantern  is  impossible  except  by  deliberate  intent.  The  reasons  are 
simple  and  scientifc.  In  the  motion  picture  projection  lantern  the  light,  and  the 
heat  as  well,  are  both  focussed  on  the  flm,  but  as  each  view  remains  stationary 
only  i/i6th  of  a second,  there  is  insufficient  time  to  set  fre  to  it.  Should  the  flm 
stop  from  any  cause,  the  lantern  must  be  instantly  removed.  In  the  special 

Projection  Lantern  accompanying  the  Tourist  Multiple  Camera  the 


focal  point  for  light  and  heat  is  an  inch  or  more  in  front  of  the  plane  of  the  ex- 
posed film  and  the  latter  is  not  heated  to  any  serious  degree.  In  the  experience  of 
the  manufacturers  no  film  has  ever  been  set  on  fire  with  this  lantern,  and  no  fears 
need  be  entertained  from  this  source.  As  an  additional  precaution,  however,  a 
spring-actuated  sliding  door,  which  operates  as  a light  and  heat  trap,  is  provided  at 
the  rear  o f the  fil  m box,  being  held  open  by  a short  projecting  pin  resting  upon 
the  condensing  lens  barrel  when  the  lantern  is  in  use,  and  closing  instantly  and 
automatically  when  the  lantern  is  withdrawn. 

USES  OF  THE  TOURIST  MULTIPLE  CAMERA 

Because  of  its  great  compactness,  enormous  capacity  and  simplicity  of  manipula- 
tion, the  TOURIST  Multiple  Camera  is  adaptable  to  almost  unlimited  service. 
It  will  take  the  pictures  of  an  entire  summer,  of  a complete  European  tour,  of  a 
voyage  around  the  world,  of  vacation  trips  to  the  tropics  or  the  Arctic  regions,  or 
extended  journeyings  in  any  part  of  the  world.  For  professional  travelers  and 
lecturers,  for  explorers,  and  for  those  engaged  in  nature  research  of  all  kinds,  it  is 
invaluable.  It  is  so  small  that  it  takes  up  scarcely  any  room  in  one’s  baggage;  its 
weight  makes  very  little  added  load;  it  is  always  ready;  it  is  exceedingly  simple  to 
operate;  and  the  whole  matter  of  developing  and  printing  can  safely  be  left  until 
the  return  home. 

In  connection  with  the  special  PROJECTION  LANTERN  provided  as  part  of  the 
equipment,  positives  for  projection  can  be  made  at  very  little  trouble  and  with  but 
slight  expense  when  compared  with  the  cost  of  the  ordinary  lantern  slides  which 
are  used  in  illustrated  lectures.  For  projection  purposes  roll  film  positives  are  so 
far  ahead  of  lantern  slides  as  to  need  no  argument.  They  are  very  much  less 
costly;  they  are  unbreakable;  changing  to  the  next  picture  is  automatic;  and  the 
presentation  of  the  pictures  in  the  wrong  sequence  is  impossible.
